Arggh! That's so appropriate, because after a year and a half of leaving the furniture alone and being content with scratching posts, Ember has decided within the last two weeks that the sofa is a much better scratching post. :grumpy: She's even decided that the double-sided tape I've put on corners to discourage her from scratching is especially fun to dig at and play with.Astronuc said:Ember reminds me of our calico Pumpkin who came to us the first year my wife and I were married and living in married student apartments. She was only a few months old and had been abandoned. So we took her in and she lived with us for just over 17 years.
In the apartments, we had tacky furniture (couch, chairs) with vinyl covering. Pumpkin used to dig her claws into the vinyl to exercise them. She would go near whatever scratching post or device we could find. She'd always go back to the vinyl cahir or couch. We even covered the furniture with sheets and rugs, but she would find a way to burrow in at get to the vinyl. The damage she did cost us the security deposit.
The squirt bottle has returned to the coffee table. And it's so obvious she KNOWS she's not supposed to be doing that...I'll hear her scratching, and the moment I even start to move to peek over at her to stop her, she's backed away from the couch, sitting very innocent looking. So, no hope of grabbing her while she's scratching and relocating her to an authorized scratching location to remind her of what's allowed (she takes off running the moment I stand up...my kitty is a juvenile delinquent 
). I think she's starting to catch on again with the squirt bottle though...I squirt her, then she looks at me, and I give her the "I don't know what the problem is" innocent look that she usually gives me when I catch her scratching. 
Pumpkin would just run into another room if we approached her while she was scratching the furniture. We used the water spray bottle to discourage her - but she never got discouraged. She just got sneaky and stealthy.Moonbear said:Arggh!

I'm trying to figure out if that's a photoshop job or if someone really did that to their cat!
.Ah, seeing several of them, it looks more like a photoshop trend. But, when it's just one, well, I've seen people do strange things to their pets with hairdye, so it didn't escape the realm of possibility for me. I like the plaid cat!Math Is Hard said:

I'm trying to figure out what they are, it looks like either the cat is a race car and the mouse is the driver, or the cat is a bed and the mouse is sleeping in it.Math Is Hard said:
